We've had a string of bad news in our Quest. Every trial day is critical now, as we finish up the qualifying period for the Invitational. (The qualifying period ends on June 30.) But we keep losing days.
First, we had to limit our three-day trial last weekend to one day, due to having to travel out to the West Coast for my mother's memorial service. We did manage a double Q on Friday, before traveling on Saturday. (On the upside, the memorial service was really nice, and I got to see a lot of old friends and celebrate my mother's life.)
Second, we found out yesterday that we fell a few points out of first place in the Invitational qualifying.
Third, the two days we were supposed to trial this coming weekend just got canceled due to torrential rains we are supposed to be getting this weekend.
Don't they say bad news comes in threes? So maybe we're done with that stuff.
Our chances of recovering first place are now next to nil. Our June trial days have now fallen from 11 to just 7. Oh, well. It's highly doubtful that we'll fall out of second place, and certainly not out of the top five. Being in the top five is all that matters. But I was sort of hoping we'd be able to finish the qualifying period in first place. Those consistency problems we've had all year are now coming back to haunt us...
